MID-RANGE TYRES
These tyres are better quality and ensure more durabllity, grip and impact absorbsion. It some cases road noise is reduced and the ‘speed rating’ is generally higher – and can sometimes rival the ratings of Premium range tyres – the prices reflect these qualities.

PREMIUM BRAND RANGE
The high end of the market and as the name suggests they are the best quality tyres available. Higher quality rubber compounds and construction methods are used to produce such tyres, which generally give more longevity. Because of the design and the tread patterns used they can invaribly give better grip and braking, lower road noise and have higher speed capabilities. They can also help your car consume less fuel.

Remanufactured/Retread Tyres
Retreaded tyres are manufactured to high standards using highly sophisticated machinery. Since January 2004 it has been a legal requirement for retreads to be manufactured according to ECE Regulations 108 (car tyres) and 109 (commercial vehicles tyres), which stipulates that tyres are tested to the same load and speed criteria as new tyres.
Although many European retreaders had been producing according to ECE 108 and 109 for some time, the introduction of the regulations as a mandatory requirement has made a considerable contribution towards ensuring and proving that the quality, integrity and performance of retreaded tyres are, at the very least, on a par with that of new tyres.
Retreaded tyres can and do perform as well as tyres that have never been retreaded and they do it at a substantial saving over the high cost of new tyres.
It should be remembered that every major truck tyre manufacturer, with no exceptions, manufactures its tyres for multiple lives, meaning they are designed to be retreaded.
Retreading is highly environmentally friendly and should be considered as the best practical environmental option for tyre recycling. Unlike other forms of tyre recycling or disposal, retreading does not simply defer the eventual disposal of the tyre, but actively contributes towards reducing the amount of tyres being used and hence saving valuable natural resources.
Every retread produced means one less new tyre, thereby minimising the number of new tyres produced annually, extending the life of the original product and saving substantially on resources such as oil (a passenger retread requires 20 litres less oil than a new tyre. For a truck tyre this figure is 68 litres).
The result is less tyres to be disposed of annually. At the end of their first, second or even third life retreaded tyres can then be used as a raw material for other forms of ‘deferred disposal’. This is consistent with the Government’s sustainable development policy.
